Pertinent to the nomination for Speaker
which Judge Lamar declined, the vigilant cor.
respondent of the Times Union furnished to that
paper..the following sketch of the "favorite son
OF Jefferson" whose future is SO full OF promise
To his State
Hon. w. Is. Lamar, who was Friday night
nominated by tie Democratic caucus for Speak
or of the House to succeed the Hon Samuel
Pasco was born in Jefferson county, Florida.
June II, 1853, where he lived with his parents
until 1865, when he removed with his mother 10
Athens, Georgia, and resided there until 1879
when, having graduated ut the University of
Georgia. he attended Lebanon law school in
Tennessee, and afterwards practiced law in
Iupelo Miss in 1875, where he became ac-
qualnted with the present Lieutenant Governor
Mabry, who was then mayor of that Furnishing
town. In 1876 MIR. Lamar returned to his native
county and began the practice of law in Month
cello. Within short time he became promi-
nent at the bar and acquired great popularity
among wide circle of friends and acquaint-
ances throughout the State. He was elected
clerk of the Circuit Court for Jefferson county
in 1877 and served four years. In 1882 he was
chosen county judge of Jefferson to succeed
Hon. j. Is. Christie who resigned to enter upon
the practice of law in Jacksonville Mr.. Lamar
filled the office of County Judge with great
success until hts election to the present Legs-
lature in 1885 by the unanimous vote of the
people OF his native county, who have learned
to appreciate his ability and great force of
character He was prominently spoken of for
Speaker at the beginning of this session, but re-
fused the use Of his name against his honored fel.
low townsman, the present Senator elect, Hon.
Samuel Pasco. He is Chairman of the Appro.
priaiions Committee and leading figure on the
Judiciary Committee and ON the floor of the
House, where he has made fine record in
very short time His fitness for the Speakersbin
is recognized by all, and his course is looked
upon with favor. His father was Col. Thomas
Lamar, who was killed in the late war At the
head OF bis regiment. Secretary Lamar, of the
Interior Department al Washington, is his
uncle.

EDITORS FLoRIDIAN: Two bills, each pre-.
scribing the duties Of the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture and regulating the sale Of commercial
fertilizers, are now before the Legislature. One
was INTRODUCED by Mr.. Thomas, Of Jefferson coun-
~, and is substantially the Georgia law; the
other by Mr.. Farnell, is modelled on laws W hich
were enacted at later date than the Georgia
law and are improvements on that law.
The Thomas, or Georgia law, though good, is
inferior to the Farnell. 1t has certain serious
defects which are avoided in the Farnell BILL
Those defects are as follows:
l. The Thomas bill is much more expensive
than the Farnel bill Compare them in this re-
spect:
THOMAS BILL FARNELL BILL
-Four inspectors 8, 600 One inspector 80 :. 81 600
One chemist ....... 200 inspectors travelling
Chemical laboratory. 1900 eIpenees.......:.. 500
- Chemicals, apparatus

s45Oo
2. The Thomas bill is liable to obstruct farm
ing among farmers. The Farnell bill Is entirely
free from this objection.
8. The Thomas bill obstrucis quick through
freights and consequently increases costs. The
Farnell bill offers no obstruction whatever
Very respectfully,
